OK, the bug I pointed to in my other message says so and that it works
if you do it from PC A and B...

That would (IMHO) make it even more "important" since "normal" access
from A or B to file X works, just RDP and same host A doesn't...

In any case, this bug is not a distribution to fix, this is something
for upstream.
